1) TIE: "Europe ’72" and "Rock of Ages"

2) TIE: Allman Bros. "Live at Fillmore East" and L. Feat’s "Waiting for Columbus"

others in no particular order... on a different day, I might come up with a different list for the remaining 8 spots...

3) "Skull and Roses"

4) Laura Nyro "Season of Lights"

5) Steel Wheels "Live at Goose Creek"

6) "Band of Gypsys" box set

I'd forgotten about "Rock n' Roll Animal" -- some great guitar playing on that one!
